How much CO2 does AI use compared to other industries? I know it’s a horrific use compared to all other software, but have no idea how it factors in global carbon emmissions?
Also, just to be clear, I’m genuinely curious and not defending burning huge amounts of carbon for profit if the AI sector is comparatively small. That kind of backwards “but it just a small amount of everything else” logic would be a great way to accelerate our already too fast death spiral.
